Hello,
My mum gave me a quiz to help complete - and I'm stumped! The answers are all to do with the body/ailments. Can anyone help?

1. A closer shave needed if this remains (7)
2. The opposite end of a sick cow from it's feet (5)
3. A roof in one's head (6)
4. Fencer's weapon after type of charge (8, 5)
5. Bottom (8)
6. A small and unrepeated aberration in an otherwise consistent pattern (6)
7. Spiteful bad temper (6)
8. In the bank, legs are supported (5)
9. Useless bit at the end (8)
10. Sure sign of a Brit on the Costa (7)
11. Per Forster, it sounds like it should have a view (4)
12. Sounds like the lifeboat captain's unwell (6)
13. More European money in a bowl (5)
14. Cruel confusion causes pain (5)
15. Second-rate movie precedes downpour (5)
16. Give voice to confused Ryan and 60 Romans (6)
17. It takes more than your 20 to make a bed (4) [answer to Q20 was 'muscle']
18. Sauciness (5)
19. This fish is out of water (4)
20. An addendum after mother (5)
21. Greet the first lady of song on the head (7)

We'd appreciate any help - we've done the other 89, but still feel rubbish!

Many thanx

Question Author
I've worked out 21 = Patella (First lady of song = Ella FitzGerald)

Also, 20. Addendum after mother = Mumps (addendum being ps)

So, with your fantastic help, I just need to sort out numbers 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 11, 12, 13, 17, 19 (could this be sole?)

Any further help and I'll be in debt to you all forever!

Thanx
6 Hiccup
12 Coccyx
19 Lung ??
5 Backside
Could 2 be 'Vomit'
I'm assuming from it's feet you'd see faeces, from the other end would be vomit, but do cows vomits?
"First the foot, and then the head, that's the way to make a bed"

Question 17?
19 Lung i e Lungfish
13. Could be 'coins' or 'Euros'

Maybe I should just stop guessing.
2 Mouth Foot and mouth
2. Can you please confirm - is it really "it's" (with an apostrophe, which would be ungrammatical), or is that a typo and should be "its"? Assuming that it is, MOUTH would be plausible as in "foot and mouth".
5. BACKSIDE sounds plausible.
6. HICCUP (or even correctly spelled, HICCOUGH) sounds plausible.
8. Definitely ANKLE - the letters are in bANK LEgs.
12. Definitely COCCYX (cox's sick)
